Hold Fast: 2 Timothy: Paul's Last Letter (Teaching Series)
Paul sits in prison as the weather gets colder. He's writing to his friend Timothy, encouraging him to remember the Gospel and his humble upbringing in it, to watch out for those who are ashamed of the marks of Christ, and for Timothy to bring him a coat. Hold Fast to the humble faith, Timothy!

[Sunday] Them - Missio Dei
When we have wanted to avoid them at all costs to stay away from evil, Jesus prays, “My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.

Questions for the Week: Missio Dei: The Great Sending Part 3 -Them
What motivates a church to circle the wagons and escape from the culture around it? On the other hand, what pushes a church into its mission field?
Read John 17:1-26. Jesus prayed that His disciples would be sent into the world. What does this mean to you? How can we actively participate in God's mission in our daily lives?
We are all sinners. How does understanding this truth impact your relationships with others? How does it change the way you view yourself and those around you?

[Sunday] Living Water - Missio Dei
She was sitting in stagnant water, but Jesus gives her living water which floods her being and pushes her to give good news to so many in her town.
- She was sitting in stagnant water, but Jesus gives her living water which floods her being and pushes her to give good news to so many in her town.
Questions for the Week: Missio Dei: The Great Sending Part 3 - Living Water
What is the difference between stagnant water and running/living water?
Read John 4:1-42. What stagnant water has the Samaritan woman experienced?
How does the “living water” that Jesus brings change this woman?
Think of someone you know who is surrounded by stagnant water. How might the Spirit work in you to bring living water to them?

[Sunday] Rain On Enemies - Missio Dei
Look at the party the father is throwing. The whole town is there. Even that scoundrel Matt is there who stole from the father’s business. I can’t even believe he is throwing this party for that son who took everything from him. But did you hear about the drama with the older son? He is refusing to go into the party? After all, it was raining on the whole party.

Questions for the Week: Missio Dei: The Great Sending Part 3 - Rain On Enemies
Read John 3:16. What gift does God promise you? Why does He give you this gift?
Read Matthew 5:43-48. Why does Jesus say to love your enemies?
Why does loving your enemies show God’s abundance and His generosity towards you?
When you look at the world with the eyes of Jesus, seeing God’s abundance all around, how does your view of the world change? How might this view change the way you live?
Here are the Original Series.

[Sunday] Look Up - Missio Dei
They always looked down at Zacchaeus, but Jesus looked up at him. How would you respond if people were always throwing down what you love?

Church in this part of Haiti is different than what we are used to at Grace Lutheran PSL.
Their Sunday runs much of the day with food and celebration. Right now, when people are enjoying the body of Christ, they must travel to a tree blind to use the bathroom. Not to mention when out-of-towners visit this church there is nowhere close to use the facilities.
This is a photo of the Main Church we work with in Haiti and where the bathroom will be.
As you can see from the photos this church is a humble building. But it is a beacon of love and service in its community. On a typical sunday they will have around 100 poeple in attendance.
Pastor Bruno Lexene (pictured) works with Habitat for children ministries to serve his community.
This is the same community the “Girls” came from.
Most of the people who live in this community do not have bathrooms themselves. Many of their homes are on our project list at HFCM to build a kitchen and bathroom.
Photo at Pastor Bruno Lexene House.
You can tell its a pastors house becasue its set up as the community hangout. 10 Min walk to the church
Yes they worship 90 to 100 people a week here.
When under pressure, there is hope and resilience in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ which causes us to look at the world differently.
